5 Common Bathroom Remodeling Mistakes

The bathroom is one of the most popular rooms when it comes to residential remodeling. Unfortunately, not every homeowner is aware of how to bring out the best in their bathroom to make the renovation truly great. Here are five of the most common mistakes made during a bathroom remodeling.

1. Not Installing a Bathroom Fan

Bathroom fans aren’t the most exciting part of a bathroom remodel, but they’re essential if you want to avoid having mold and mildew collect on your bathroom walls. What’s more is the trapped steam and humidity can ruin your paint job and grout.

2. Failing to Secure the Proper Permits

Small bathroom renovations are good to go, but major ones that involve rearranging the design of your bathroom, making the room bigger or installing new fixtures will likely require that you get permits. While you might not like having to spend money on permits, doing so is designed for your safety and to ensure you don’t have to undo changes made to your bathroom, which might require more money.

3. Not Having a Remodeling Plan in Place

Before digging into your bathroom remodel, be sure you have everything planned out. This plan should include sketches, your budget, images of what you want your new bathroom to look like and the materials you plan on using.

4. The Unrealistic Budget

One of the first places to start with any type of remodeling plan is the budget. Know how much everything will cost down to the last screw, and save more than you think you’ll need. It’s always better to have a little extra left over rather than have an unfinished bathroom because you ran out of money.

5. Skimping

Going back to money, it’s best that you not skimp on quality products that will last you for years to come. Less expensive fixtures might save you money, but they might not be of the best quality and need replacing sooner than a better-made fixture.
